Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.

I am a very reclusive, private person.

I regard affirmative action as pernicious - a system that had wonderful ideals when it started but was almost immediately abused for the benefit of white middle-class women.

We will never get great art from women if their education exposes them only to the second-rate and if the idea of greatness itself is denied. Greatness is not a white male trick. Every important world civilization has defined its artistic tradition in elitist terms of distinction and excellence.

What I see is not a world of male oppression and female victimization, but an internation conspiracy by women to keep from men the knowledge of men's own frailty. A strange maternal protectiveness is at work.

Every year, feminists provide more and more evidence for the old charge that women can neither think nor write.

The damage done to U.S. prestige by the feckless, buffoonish George W. Bush will take years to repair.
